When the boy came to the door
I didn't know what to say
But eighteen yellow roses came today
I opened up the card to see what it said
Couldn't believe my eyes when I had read
Though you belong to another,I love you anyway
Yes eighteen yellow roses came today
I never doubted your love for a minute
I always thought that you would be true
But now this box with the flowers in it
I guess there's nothing left for me to do
But ask to meet the boy who has done this thing
And find out if he's got plans to buy you a ring
Cause eighteen yellow roses,will wilt and die one day
But a fathers love will never fade away
Yes,eighteen yellow roses came today
